I liked Exoria for this exact reason, actually. The second part in 1.7.10 days was to use compact machines inside the spectral dimension to get some more miles out of the place. Outside of that, the only other thing that really did it for me was a pocket dimension using dimensional doors, but that mod is a whole can of worms performance-wise. I tried that with Hexxit in my first modded experience years ago. It was a respectably-large space, but it was also a little too easy to bust through the drywall into limbo.

The fish is probably the best way to go since you can fairly easily make a fishing pole in modded Minecraft and just work on a small patch of water at night to get some fish. I'm hope the Pam's Harvestcraft trap kind of takes off some of this edge by turning some grain into meat (to cook and dry into leather) as well as some leather itself. I just don't know the constraints on it. Like, can I make one of those down in a cave somewhere and be fine so long as it's surrounded by dirt? I like the notion that the traps are just altars to some benign fertility god that accepts the baits in exchange for random animal body parts. It sounds like the type of animal it traps has to be anywhere nearby. It doesn't. You just put baits in, make sure it has 4 grass blocks adjacent, and it passively vends animal products.

The shaft down wasn't 8 blocks around just 4 so when it went through a cave anything standing at the corners at the time would hit you. Since the mobs could see you through walls a lot of the time they would just stand and wait at the corners for you to come down the ladder a lot of times.

Note that dropping inventory on death is a very rare thing in modpacks. Generally either keepInventory is turned on by default, or there will be a mod that stores your inventory in a tomb of some sort where you died. You can pretty safely assume that your stuff will be safe when you die when playing modded.

Blightfall works with a Reputation system that deducts points if you die. The first 3 times or so you can reclaim those points iirc.

Once you can automate the creation of bread, though, you'll have basically infinite rep points to spend on whatever.

Playing through Sevtech:Ages and boy it's pretty fascinating. I really enjoy a gameplay loop where 'things that are difficult now are easier later' and that's the core of the modpack, so that's great. Hit age 1, zooming along. Minor issues with one mod or another, but whatever. But boy. Abyssalcraft. When I ran into it in PO3 I just assumed there was a PE config that had a 0 lopped off it. I'm not really supposed to gather 5000 PE 5 at a time, am I? ...I am? Oh boy. Making it even worse: in PO3, there were Places of Power, or structures you could build that would deactivate the negative effects of the statues, but I can't find them in the Abyssalcraft book at all, so it's either a different version or those are disabled (or I'm an idiot.) Edit: and in PO3 I had a bunch of armor and a jetpack and infinite inventory. In SevTech I'm doing it with...leather armor and a club.

In sevtech I built a room deep underground with a 1 block shaft so the pedestal (or is it the statue, I forget) could see the sky. Nothing spawned at ground level. The room was laid out so I could reach the pedestal and attack anything in the room safely. I never got a shoggoth spawn though, maybe because there wasn't room. They might have been able to break out. Sevtech doesn't force you to process deep into abyssalcraft. I never upgraded the book and only needed to do a few rituals. In PO3 it was a real pain in the rear end getting all the statues, but once that was done I just set them up in another dimension with a spot loader and a pedestal and left my book there until it was charged.

My own sevtech abyssalcraft temple uses 64 statues split into 4 groups which is massively overkill but fills the book very quickly on the central pedestal. Just build a dozen or so blocks down and cover the top with holes for the statues with one of the spreader whatevers pointed upwards at the charging pedestal and you'll never worry about spawns. Build in the abysslands and won't have to worry about biome changing either.

It's way easier to deal with as all the values and crafting recipes have been tweaked to make it more of an early game experience rather than a late game one.

Is it a good idea to settle in or around an abyssalcraft biome in Sevtech? I've been playing it recently and the nearest darklands is 1500 blocks out, very inconvenient. Unfortunately I don't have any easy way to move my base either, since I can't craft storage crates yet.

In the very early game you need a bunch of stuff from mobs that spawn in an abyssalcraft biome, so it's a good idea to have one close, but not so close that it can spawn mobs while you're tooling around your base. Avoid settling in swamps, too; shoggoths will spawn, spread their poop everywhere, and gently caress things up.

Unfortunately I don't have any easy way to move my base either, since I can't craft storage crates yet. You need an abyssal gem to make an item for progression but that's about it. You can get that with a night or two of combat -- you don't really need more than one gem and there's nothing else useful there. Protip: Cobblestone can be crafted into 9 rocks, which you can throw for 2 damage. The biggest abyssal mobs blind you in melee range which makes them huge assholes, but they're no match for a couple stacks of rocks. The absolute worst part of the abyssalcraft portion of sevtech is getting the statues or the shoggoth flesh to make statues. The drat things are immune to ranged, have huge piles of hp (and you have stone tools at best), and spit acid that deals continuous damage. Try to get below the lip of their lair steps so you can knock them back down repeatedly without engaging. Feel totally free to cheat because they are total bullshit.

Yeah, shoggoths at low tech and gear levels are pretty bullshit. The trick to that is to remember that Minecraft is a game where you can place and remove blocks. Use this ancient knowledge to create a murderhole in a shoggoth lair.

Also the blocks in the lair can be used to craft real statues that work, unlike vanilla Abyssalcraft where they make decorative statues.

Make the wild dog boots asap and ignore horses entirely; the boots give speed, fall immunity, and large amounts of armour. Slime sling + slime boots also work for long distance travel although that's age 1 or 2 iirc. As to your horse disappearing there's poo poo all you can do, unfortunately.

Okay I found out shoggoth spit destroys blocks. Instantly. In an area. You can't block their lairs anymore to kill them. Edit: oh hey, the monster balance in darklands is complete garbage too. Shadow creature: small, slow, about as dangerous as a zombie, about as much hp as one. Shadow monster: normal sized, normal speed, a little more dangerous than a zombie, has about 30 hp or something I can't even loving read the text on health bars. Shadow beast: blinds you slows you kills you in four hits, has like 100 hp. I'm just gonna cheat in a shadow gem. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Mar 8, 2019 |

I had similar things happen with other horses, who would sometimes dip into nearby ravines or caves I didn't even notice. So yeah, my guess is it's some AI thing that confuses the animal's targeted wander destination (or source), but I had a hell of a time with it in Sevtech.

Vib Rib posted:I don't know if this is a vanilla thing, since I only used horses extensively in Sevtech, but I had the same problem. I kept an eye on it one time and what happened was as soon as I got off the horse it just started walking away. Not typical passive animal wandering, either; this thing was bee-lining away from me. I followed it for over 1000m before it finally stopped, but even when it started walking again it just headed in the same direction without turning. Yeah, it's vanilla behavior. Horses just get high and wander off. You can mitigate it by carrying a lead and a fence post with you. Once you jump off the horse, lasso that sucker and tie him to a fence post.

Make a boat and ride along the waterways until you see a rectangle of dark stone; that'll be the shoggoth pit and the stone can be relatively safely mined out from the entrance. Ritual pedastal is explained in the book and also is just a circle of stone around a stone pillar which is then right clicked with the book.  In my own sevtech early on I created a boating network that relied on only short land crossings which helped significantly with speed, but getting around is definitely the hardest part of the first ages until you get the sling + boots. No idea what coriline is?
